Metro Transit said a tow truck was on the way and they "will be back up and running ASAP."

Buses replaced part of the Blue Line route for a brief time, but just before 1:30 p.m. Metro Transit tweeted trains were serving all stops on the line.

According to Minneapolis police spokesperson John Elder, an officer attempted a traffic stop when the vehicle fled. The car was left stalled on the tracks, and the driver was arrested for fleeing police. Two other passengers were also booked for warrants.
